Conclusion On Magazine Contents Pages

To sum up, after analysing magazine contents pages that related to both my target audience and my preferred genre, I was able to pick out codes and conventions that I could adapt into my magazine. For example, the use of a side-banner appears to be common in music magazines, and this is to be something that I would like to use in my own contents page, keeping in mind that it will be of interest to the target audience. 
As well as this, this research that I have conducted has gotten me thinking about the type of images I wish to put in my magazine, and the way they will be presented on the contents page. But more planning will need to be done in regards to this. 

Despite this, I feel confident with planning the layout and structure of my contents page, as well as the colour scheme to be used. I will be using red, blue and purple as my colour scheme, to create a dynamic, but fresh and funky look, which will attract my target audience.

  1. Good detailed analysis here, well done. Your blog is well organised and presented very well- you are approaching this coursework in a very professional way. Your designs and lay outs are very approapriate and your research reflects your ideas. Next step: think about the double page spread. This and the contents page are the things that are often given less attention for this brief. Also include any screen shots, links to tutorials etc which shows how you have learned how to use InDesign? This will demonstrate your high level of technical ability. Overall, an excellent start.
